Well, last word about dead count is 23, that 24 must have been because they managed to dig up last bodies from wreckage just couple hours ago.

They're propably pretty right when saying that only way to survive from that kind of collision would be to lie inside tank.

    A member of the rescue team said in an interview that there was no panic, because those who had survived the accident were so badly shocked. I wondered why he emphasized also that it wasn't too hard to figure out what kind of damage was done because all passengers (or their remains) were inside the bus... until I saw a picture from behind the curtain of censorship where one of the dead passengers was hanging upside down, outside a broken window. The picture was blurry, but it must have been a very nasty view, you wouldn't want to see even a piece of it.

    Got to mourn for the rescue team too, a horrible and messy scene probably wont be forgotten for a long time.

    I saw that too.

    Those who where inside bus under those 800 kg paper rolls must have looked much worse.
    I think objects weighting that much propably completely crush human when hitting with that speed.

    Few hours ago they had managed to identify only ten from those 23 dead.

    With that speed, some of those people might have been even decapitated, so that makes identifying them even more difficult... dental records probably aren't helping much. :(

    I hope that there would be quicker ways to identify people, so that their families wouldn't have to wait the confirmation.

    I wouldn't oppose a decision to plant a microchip in every child born to this world.

    I wouldn't wonder if they have to use DNA-tests to identify some of them.

    What about a DNA Database?

    I can say with 100% certainty that at some point in the future, every child born and every human alive will be forced to have a chip inplanted in them. Those that refuse will not be allowed to buy food, travel, etc...

    meaning total, 100% control over every person in the world, at the governments disposal.

    yep, REALLY great idea. :rolleyes:

    Well, more propably giant corporations, because what's the difference between global politics and principles of giant corporations.


    About those who survived:
    Four very seriously injured.
    Nine seriously injured.
    Two slighly injured.

    Yeah, 'twas a bad accident, this one. :( Didn't hear about it until one of our neighbours told us when we asked who'd died as they had their flag on half-pole.

    That will never happen, unless people become so stupid that they will want that themselves.

    Geebus! I'm suprised anyone survived at all! I've seen rolls that size up close and personal and I'm [b]well[/b] aware of how much damage they can cause...
